Since experiencing a crash due to what I think to be some fake ADOBE popup is there any way to eliminate them popping up? As they do continue, some even look like they are really from ADOBE? I dont trust any ADOBE for now!

I have experienced a system crash and have learned it to be related to the little adobe popup that I had clicked on thaughtlessly that ended up being a virus, now I have them again and also what looks like real ADOBE updates, I am afraid of any and realize for my mac to work I need adobe, so how do I know which ones to accept and what ones not to?
Can I do anything to just reject the bad ones before the appear?

Quit Safari and run Software Update. Install what it recommends.
If you are going to download anything from Adobe do it from Adobe's website: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ The phony popup windows offering to update Flash may look authentic but they are fraudulent. Generally speaking all popup ads offering to download something are fraudulent. Dismiss them.

Apple worked on my Mac to fix password problem and lost all my bookmarks. Is there a way to get them back? I have tried talking to apple tech. They can't help

I had a problem with not being able to send emails from certain sites. I pd a tech at apple to fix it. They couldn't so went to apple store. They erased all pass words in administrator and on firefox. Somehow then they did they they erased all my book marks which were pretty important to me. I didn't have them back up that I am aware of. Now apple said they can't do anything to find them. I searched around and found a few under different things and several were just codes.
Is there anyway to restore my book marks?
Thank you

If you use the Time Machine on your computer then you can try to find an older copy of the places.sqlite file.

There are also JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder that you can use to restore bookmarks.

Ex. Song = Hey Boy by Soulidfied Display album cover for Missy Elliott SUper Dupa Fly

Try unsyncing al the songs and then resyncng them. This is a problem with iOS 5.

I need some help I updated my ipad last night to the new ios....but it deleted all the applications on it? Any way that I can restore the ipad to what it was before I updated it? Or is there a way to get them all back?

Can anyone help?

That's part of the process - the upgrade removes all the apps and then (as part of the syncing) restores them all - however, it's not clear that it's doing that. Connect your iPad to iTunes again and sync it - the apps should come back. If not, then the upgrade created a back-up of your device before installing - you can restore your iPad to that back-up when connected to iTunes.

My (shared) iMessages are taking up almost all my iPhone storage. Is there a way to remove them to clear up some space on my phone?

My (shared) iMessages are taking up almost all my iPhone storage. Is there a way to remove them to free up space on my phone?

Thx - the videos are on my Ipad - that is the problem - they are taking up all the storage and there is no room for anything else. Is there any place I can store them so that I can access them from time to time, but not have they use up all the space on the IPad? Sounds like the cloud is out...

I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer. they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info. I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you mean you deleted the files from Pages on your phone whilst using iCloud, then yes they will disappear from Pages on your iPad too.
If you simply deleted the app from your phone, if you were using iCloud then they should not have disappeared from your iPad.
It's not clear from your post, which of these you did.

I downloaded iOS 5.0.1 to my iPhone and all of my voicemails disappeared except a few from the last week. Are they gone forever or is there a way to retrieve them?

iPhoto used to support the PCD format up to a few years ago. It's extremely frustrating that Apple decided to no longer support this format and now I'm directed to pay nearly $40 for an app that will (GraphicConverter 9). Did Lemke Software make a deal with Apple so we'd have to pay a premium for a very overpriced converter? And, how are decisions like this supposed to encourage the use of iPhoto?
Apple users already pay a premium to use a Mac. Obstacles like these eventually destroy loyalty to the Apple brand. Just ask Microsoft how their back room deals that exploited their customer base worked out for them.

I can not get the pop out menu from the tools to work. It looks like they are not loaded

Can someone help me know how to get the tool pop out menu to work. It looks like they are not loaded.

You do have to click and hold down on any tool icon with a small triangle in the lower right.
The second method is to right-click on the tool.

Some songs will not sync to my iPhone 4s, looks like they are loading but they never do.

Recently I downloaded some new music and now when I try to sync to my iPhone 4S none of the songs i downloaded are syncing to my phone and even some of the songs that were on my phone are not anymore. On iTunes on "On this phone" or whatever the songs are there but it looks like they are loading even after the sync is over. I would really like some help cause this is really annoying... Thanks!

Same here, I have a new iPhone 5S and it will not allow me to put any music on it unless I have purchased it from iTunes, even music that I own and have ripped from the CD will not upload to the phone. Really Bloody Annoying!
Should have stayed with Android!

Problem with slideshow in iPhoto. Photos look like they are all the right way up but when in slideshow action some are sideways.

even though all photos look like they are the right way up, when the slideshow commences, some of them display sideways. I have tried re-rotating them - and still have same problem. Help please - need it for Saturday night !

What version of iPhoto are you using? Are you creating the slideshow directly from an album or are you using the slideshow mode?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Hi Spiral Geronimo,
It is always recommended to update the software to its latest updates. I would suggest you to update your Acrobat 9 to its latest updates. You can download the updates from the link below:

Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
